The artist behind this creationRākai Jade is a collaborative group of talented artists based out of Rotorua, New Zealand. Started by renowned jade carver, Lewis Gardiner, the collective consists of a variety of talented young artists who come to him for his guidance and to contribute their own creative designs to the cause. They pride themselves on pushing the boundaries of traditional Māori design, producing pieces that reach a high level of artistic excellence. They work to convey traditional and cultural Māori ideals through contemporary design and craftsmanship.

The Koru
The koru is a beloved symbol throughout Aotearoa, seen painted on tipuna (meeting houses), waka (canoes), in traditional Tā moko (Māori tattooing) and on wood and greenstone carvings. Pounamu artists use the koru pattern in many different ways; often introducing it as surface-etching or detail into other forms and shapes. It is though to depict new beginnings, life and hope.
